The funds for the Renew Atlanta / TSPLOST projects have fallen short of expectations and the city is prioritizing which projects will get funded and which will get the axe, according to a press release.

The city performed an initial survey to gauge interest in three scenarios:

There’s a new survey to get feedback on the latest trimmed down project list for Renew Atlanta bond and TSPLOST programs. It is available through March 15 at this web address: www.surveymonkey.com/r/5H7P36G

The Renew Atlanta and TSPLOST programs were launched in 2015 and 2016 to address an infrastructure backlog of more than $1 billion facing the city.
